Krytocracy

I have expanded article and removed wrong refernce to Krytocracy [[[User:Serg3d2|Serg3d2]] 20:15, 15 January 2006 (UTC)]

anarcho-capitalism

I noted that the term anarcho-capitalism has superceded the term "kritarchy."WickedWanda 23:15, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

needs a lot of work

There has to be more resources on this subject out there, I just don't know where they are... Anyone know of a good source of quotations or more elaborate definitions? Two-Bit Sprite 14:41, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This subject needs only what it gets

Cleanup tag deleted. Considering that the page has:

A context: given by the list of political systems in the right box
A right size: 2 sections of 10 lines.
Effective explainations: enough to understand and go further.
This is one of 700 articles in a backlog in a month dating more than 1 year.

If the article is improved, fine. If it does not, fine too.

Merger Proposal

I think that kritarchy and kritocracy should be merged. While there is a section in each article that compares them, this section seems like original research. It is uncited and contradicts the normal dictionary definition of kritarchy. There is no dictionary entry for kritocracy. Some of the external links insist that kritarchy is bound by natural law, but none mention the term kritocracy to suggest that there is a distinction. Moreover, to say that kritarchy refers to more than just the rule of the Judges in Israel, but instead is the rule of judges in general, if only when they are governed by natural law, seems POV-pushing. For example, the idea that the Judges ruled by natural law is contested by everyone who doubts that natural law is compatible with the Biblical view. "Kritocracy" certainly seems like a neologism, and so the article should go. RJC ^Talk_Contribs 14:41, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agree They seem too similar to be put in separate articles. This is a stub anyway. ForestAngel (talk) 02:23, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Xeer is not Sharia

The article seems to be confusing Xeer with Sharia. Both may be examples of Kritarchy and both may occur in Somalia, but they are not the same. The Islamic Courts Union uses Sharia which is based on the Qur'an and the Hadith, that is, the sayings and works of Muhammad. Clan elders use Xeer which is based on their traditions and reason.

Since it used "arguably" and I could not find anything discussing this in a quick search, I have simply taken the reference to the Islamic Courts Union out entirely. Uncle G (talk) 09:50, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Druid Judges

Brehons were not druids, in fact we have almost no information about druids in Ireland, their presence is effectively inferred from source material from Gaul and Britain. The Brehon law also continued far, far longer than Celtic polytheism in Ireland. Adhiyana (talk) 16:36, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
